Another white mk4, and a grey mk2 with tints

I don't think it was spud, unless he was going on a brummie tour.... a seemingly not-very-modified 3 (5? fuzzy..) door mk4 a couple days ago, pure white with clear indicators, CruiseMidlands stickers (bit dodgy that 
- see them applied to all kinds of wrecks) and three guys inside clearly having a good time on their long weekend. First in front with some nice exhaust noise (definatlely changed there), then after looping a roundabout, following behind me as i put-putted about like some kind of golf cart. Doing some slow downs then hard blasting to make the gap back up to impress da laydeez... then spotted some mates and turned off a bit after Spar on the birmingham road. Looks like it was a laff - anyone who'd be on here?
Maybe dropped 30 mil or so as well.
And today a (primer??) grey Mk2 hatch cruising down Boldmere road as i got out to top my phone up at Alldays. Didn't see much of it, but the colour (maybe a bit darker than regular "primer" grey so might be real paint, but looked kinda matt), DARK tints, clear indicators on the back, slight drop on alloys?
Birmingham board member staying on the down-low?
And own up - anyone recognise these sheds:
The pair of chancers in the powder blue Corsa I saw pulled up earlier with a couple of foot-solider police officers waving half a numberplate at them and saying something inaudible at length
The primer-orange (orange?! deffo primer though - looks like it's having a full respray) older-model Civic (curvy, not triangled) in halfords tyburn carpark. Promising to be a good paint job, and some insane alloys (6 spoke, not 3, to boot) with very low profile tyres. Only... one of them was completely flat. No side repeaters fitted (just holes - presumably taxed, or a lazy day at the paint shop) And it had (sloppily) red-painted calipers and drums. Seriously, who mods up a performance Civic but then draws attention to it having crappy brakes (not particularly big drums either) by painting them?
The previously encountered full-respray salvaged Escort Cossie that, as suspected, has become Scooby Blue all over. Looks pretty sweet. Except for the hatch door, which is a distinctly and inexplicably different shade of blue.
And a non-shed. The gorgeous red latest-model supra parked next to the civic. To die for (well, almost).
